Laser
Applications to Accelerators

Purpose and AudienceThis course is an introduction to the application of
laser technology and techniques to accelerators. The course is designed for
graduate students, engineers, and scientists interested in the basic concept
and techniques for laser applications in accelerators. Prerequsities:
Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism at the junior/senior undergraduate
level.

ObjectivesThe course will survey the concepts and techniques
for laser applications in accelerators, including laser pulse manipulation and
laser-beam interactions. At the end of the course, the students are expected to
understand the basic laser techniques, laser-beam interactions, and laser
related as a beam diagnostics and beam manipulations.
